Just a Memory

One night, a long time past,
Stumbling through the darkness,
The cold icy drops of rain
Hitting my face,
As I dragged IT behind me.

Up and down the dunes,
Wet and icy like the wind,
I stumbled on,
Pulling IT behind me.

On and on, I went,
Through the darkness of night.
Still wet,
And icy cold,
Still dragging IT along.

On, and on,
Past the dark pier,
Through even icier gusts now,
Up the hill,
Up into a room of logs.

Off comes the heavy coat,
Onto the rack,
Letting go of IT,
Down by the fire,
Where IT sits,
My very wet dog Rex.

He removed, primarily economic oversight. He said that it was unAmerican that in this capitalist society that such oversight, such restrictions should exist. To him, these concepts flew in the face of that illusive, figmentary idea we like to call freedom. He wanted Big Business to have the freedom to do what it will and believed that in doing so, said companies would check themselves. They would check themselves because it was in their best economic interest to do so. Yet, what he didn't realize is that what was in the best interest of Corporate America could be unknown to Corporate America itself! That Big Business could be akin to a compulsive gambler who as they fall further and further into the hole panic and begin making riskier and riskier bets, thus then subjecting themselves to even more debt ...
